Product Overview

The GE Fanuc IC697ALG445 is a high-channel analog expansion module for the Series 90-70 PLC system. It supports 16 additional analog input channels, either voltage (±10 V) or 4-20 mA current loop, enabling greater system capacity for process monitoring and instrumentation. The ALG445 offers the same core circuitry as the standard expander module but features gold-plated contacts on both header and terminal blocks for enhanced reliability and contact integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How many channels does the IC697ALG445 provide?
It provides 16 additional analog input channels, used as an “expansion” module in the Series 90-70 analog input subsystem.

2. What signal types can it accept?
It accepts either ±10 V full scale voltage signals or 4–20 mA current loop signals, selectable on a module-wide basis.

3. Do I need to install jumpers or switches to configure it?
No. Configuration is achieved via software; there are no jumpers or DIP switches required.

4. What is special about the contacts on this module?
The module includes gold-plated contacts on the header and terminal blocks, improving reliability, contact resistance, and long-term stability.

5. Is it compatible with older analog modules in the system?
Yes. The circuitry is functionally compatible with standard expander modules (e.g., IC697ALG441), and the module is designed for use in the same backplane and expansion racks.

6. How does one wire the field inputs?
Field wiring is made to a removable terminal board mounted on the front of the module. The terminal board is removed for wiring and reinstalled, providing ease of service.

7. Can I mix voltage and current channels on the same module?
No. On the IC697ALG445 each module is configured for one signal type (voltage or current) for all 16 channels; mixing types requires separate modules.

8. What is the operating environment recommendation?
The module is rated for 0 °C to +60 °C operation and –40 °C to +85 °C storage. Good ventilation and proper grounding according to system installation guidelines are recommended.
